The story

The front honours Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding leader of Bangladesh, shown beside a mosque facade, with the shapla, the national flower, in the clear window. The back shows the Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban in Dhaka, the seat of the national parliament, with the fan-shaped National Martyrs’ Memorial at Savar, which honours those who died in the 1971 Liberation War. The satellite dish reflects the country’s communications development.
